THE STORY OF LOW PRICES.
What the Racket Store is Doing for the
People.

Ny story, marin? Well, really now,
haven't much to say:
But, if you'd come a year ago, and then
again to-day,
No need of words to tell you, marm, what
your own eyes could see,
Of what the Racket Store has done for my
dear John and me
A year ago, we hadn't -four to make loaf
of bread,
And many a time these little ones went
supperless to bed;
Now. look into the larder, marin; there
sugar, -four and tea,
And that is what the Racket Store has done
for John and me.
He used to walk along the street, looking
so mean and low,
AZ if he hardly dared to meet the friends
he used to know
Rut now he looks them in the face, and
walks off bold and free,
And that is what the Racket Store has done
for John and me.
a year ago, these little boys went strolilnf
down the street,
With scantv clothing on their backs ant
nothing On their feet;
But now, they've shoes and stockings, ane
good clothing, as you see;
( And that is what the Racket store ha
| done for John and me.
And this is only the story OF one OF on
| thousands of customers VINO could SIM

cheap goods tell the story. We sell $
low that every family can afford to liv
comfortably, clothe the children we'll, an

In addition to their other business;
and in keeping with the spirit of prog
ress and development so Characteristic
of this firm, they have opened milli-
merry department this season, which
has proved big success from the
start. Miss Lefringhausen, of Balti<

a trimmer of hats and bonnets, is in
charge. Everything in the line Of
hats, bonnets and trimmings of every
description, plumes, ribbons, flowers,
feathers, etc., from which to select.
Hats trimmed to order and prices al
ways reasonable.
The firm is noted for close buying,
and as natural consequence for the
low prices at which they sell. Mr..
Bridgers is a merchant by nature, and
to his fine business judgment in buying
and his excellent management IN the
store, is due in large part the very
gratifying success of ]. A. Harrison s.
Co.'S business. No better buyer visits
the Northern markets and this gives
them a wonderful advantage in ena-
bling them to offer such splendid bar
gains to their customers. In such
things as shoes they buy in large lots
direct from the manufacturer-many
of their goods being made to order
especially for this house-they getting
them at same cost the Baltimore job

handle to as good advantage, whole

Having outgrown their present quar-
tiers in Oxford, 24xSo feet, two floors,
DR.. Herndon is building for Messrs.
Harrison & Co. larger store,
situated Immediately in front of the
courthouse, which Will be occupied
about the first of September. Here
they can "stretch out and increase
their business in proportion to the de-
mands of their trade, and if they do
not lead in other things beside low
prices the GOLD LEAF. will be greatly
mistaken.
The firm of ]. A. Harrison & Co. is
a live, pushing and progressive one.
Wide-awake and aggressive as business
men, the standard of their success is
borne proudly upward and onward in
its steady growth and development
and to-day in all the broad field of
merchandise they acknowledge no SUI
perior, own no equal, and fear no rival.

CooPER's WAREHoUsE.-Work Is going

interest is felt in it outside of that created
by Mr.. Cooper's we'll known reputation

The North Carolina Gazette says: 1.-THE
people of Vance county seem to have their
eyes open as to the matter of living at
home. Instead of big tobacco farms, as
formerly, they now have large corn, cotton
and wheat farms" This is very true. Our
people do not depend so much on the one
crop system as formerly; they go, in more
for diyersifcation and home supplies, and
the result is they are growing better off by
it. Never before was SO much corn raised
In this section as last year, and large
crop has been planted again this spring.

TOBACCO MARKET.-During the past two
weeks the views of tobacco men, and prices
have changed perceptibly. For some time
farmers have been reporting bad stands,
the scarcity of plants, the depredations of
cut worms, and other indications of short
crop, but buyers have so often heard the
cry of wolf" but little attention or Gre
dence was given the reports. Now, how1
ever, it is conceded anything like full
crop is an impossibility, and the commoner
grades, especially of filters with body. Of
which there is an immense stock on hand,
for which no one could see bright future,
have advanced in our market from 20 to so
per cent. The better grades Of wrappers,
cutters and smokers, already high, have
also been more sought after at ruling
prices, with but little probability of much
/ change during the season. Recently there
has been on our market some Mecklen.

ABOUT ADvERTIsING.-NOt every man

chant of Philadelphia, says: ''To discon-
tinue an advertisement is like taking
down your sign. If you want to do bust
ness you must let the public know it..
Standing advertisements, when changed
frequently, are better and cheaper than
reading notices. They look more sub
stantial and business like. / would as
soon think of doing business without
